Really looking forward to EA golf making a return but I can’t help thinking that the new game is picking up exactly where it left off with the Rory game. I spent most of yesterday evening playing th...

I've never played such an easy and boring golf game as Rory was
It was almost like the game played for you and you just flicked the stick.
Why move the aim marker when it’s already going to get you inside 10 feet automatically?In Rory, it seems they never programmed any variance to the shot.
No room for error.
Just perfect shots.
Seriously - anyone who still has Rory.
Go fire it up and don't even aim.. just swing..You'll be shocked how well you score, even on the HIGHEST difficulty settings possible, by doing absolutely nothing other than swinging whatever the preset shot/aim is all the time.
Why move the aim marker or even think about the shot, when the game will already get you inside 10 feet automatically?
Hopefully the new game at least has tempo to it somehow
14 has the issue where bunker and rough shots might as well be irrelevant because of the strike meter system. You could be buried in rough or bunker and hit shots out completely fine if you strike meter below the ball or just keep it center and suffer a barely any penalty lie if there is any.
100% fair about bunkers on 14
I, by no means, think TW14 was the best anything could be..
I just don't want much of anything from Rory gameplay.
The user barely has to do anything and it's just auto-birdies all day long
Yeah 14 was NOT perfect but the fact of how easy it was to get out of the rough and bunkers were completely ridiculous. Past that and partial swings being gone since it's all about the marker now 14 is way better to base off of instead of Rory. This is why I always said 2005 was EA's best or just that era. The way swings and the marker are handled there worked fine you can do partial shots just fine. Man I want Tiger Proofing back. I can't think of any complaints for 14 online mode wise since I missed the online era.
